Error starting openreports webapp in Tomcat

[UltraSmooth]

I am running ubuntu server 9.10 with Tomcat 6, using java-sun-jdk.

Tomcat is running but throws an error when I'm trying to start the openreports webapp, here's the error:

I have no idea where to go from here. This error seems to happen before a connection to the database is attempted.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Difficult to guess. Maybe a lack of configuration parameters for connection provider?

Cheers,

Thanks Dan for your reply but I have since solved my problem. Not sure exactly what caused it but I dumped the tomcat6 install that came with ubuntu server and did a manual install of tomcat 6.0.20 from apache.org. I also had to modify the my.cnf file to bind to 127.0.0.1. I had a bunch of errors come up after that but with a bit of perseverance and some good googling I have everything up and running just fine now.

Thanks,
Rob
